I have been reading up about when asthmatics will get the vaccines and there seem to have been some changes that if your asthma isn’t extremely severe then you are not a at risk group anymore, because we are not at any higher risk than a health person.
I got my invite yesterday and am booked for my first jab next Thursday. The only possible reason I got one is my non-severe asthma, so if that's true it hasn't taken effect yet.
On your vaccine-related anxiety, worth remembering that about 18 million people have had it now. As far as I'm aware they're all essentially fine. Anecdotally all I've heard of so far is feeling crap/tired for a few days.

The potential side effects. I don’t respond well with a lot of meds etc. I know they are temporary, which is why I want to wait until I hear from a job app so I don’t end up “being ill” for an interview (If I am lucky).
But I am glad I get the offer now, I have been reading up about when asthmatics will get the vaccines and there seem to have been some changes that if your asthma isn’t extremely severe then you are not a at risk group anymore, because we are not at any higher risk than a health person. I am 1 hospital stay away from having to shield because I have been careful... so maybe my GP did some work at the background?
Also the meds we take apparently might offer some protection? I don’t know... I am all confused. So will be masking up and not going out much every after the vaccine and lockdown is over...
